2015 Camaro saved from a hack job!!!
So a month ago I had a gentleman swing by for an estimate on a black 2015 Camaro with 9k miles. He informed me that the car had some deeper scratches and that another small dealership detailer charged him 150$ for a "detail" and tried to get the scratches out. Long story short a hack job with a rotary is what he got. Fast forward to last week and it was time to get to work.
Before pics!
Wash/Decon- IGL wash, meguiars clay, Uber rinseless for lube
Engine bay- LATA, foamed with IGL wash, dressed with Hyper Dressing mixed 50 50.
Wheels/tires- Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel, LATA, Hydro Blue, Mckees Gloss Tire Gel
Compounding- BOSS G21, BOSS microfiber cutting pad, Fast correcting cream. Adams swirl killer mini, Meguiars 3in microfiber cutting pad, Rupes Nano ibrid
Finishing polish- BOSS G21, black LC pro thin pad, Menzerna sf3800, Adams swirl killer mini, Rupes Nano ibrid
LSP- IGL Poly 1 year coating
The client also wanted me to install the orange vinyl stripes on the car. Being that I'm not really a vinyl guy I was a little hesitant to do so. But after some back and forth and making sure he got real GM stripes I decided I would tackle it to save him a trip back just to recoat the hood and trunk. The nice thing about the GM stripes is they have a small template built into the transfer film. They came out nice with one minor imperfection that the owner wasn't concerned about.

Nice save, Justin; that paint was really abused. Looks great with the stripes. I'm sure the owner is thrilled with this turnaround.

Thanks everyone. TBH I'm glad this one is done lol. Just a mess of a project but it wrapped up nicely in the end. Still some little things here and there but no sense in chasing defects that will diminish clear coat levels. Great turnaround for a daily driver.
